Overview
Funter Bay Seaplane Base (PANR / FNR) sits in Funter Bay, Alaska, where it functions as a seaplane base. Alongside scheduled airline service, the airport handles a steady flow of private and charter traffic.
No charter operator is headquartered on the field, but operators routinely position aircraft into FNR for departures. When weather or ramp space demands it, nearby options are Juneau International Airport (JNU, 12 nm), Hoonah Airport (HNH, 19 nm), and Excursion Inlet Seaplane Base (EXI, 20 nm). With a single 10,500-foot unpaved runway, FNR can typically accommodate aircraft as large as turboprops.
Charter pricing from FNR depends on aircraft category, positioning distance, and trip timing. Compare rated operators or run a route through the cost estimator to gauge pricing from Funter Bay.
